It has been suggested that parts of this flint church dates to the Late Saxon and Norman periods. Documents record that the church was built between 1294 and 1332. Work of this date can be seen inside the church and in the south aisle. The southwest tower and chancel date to the 14th century. The nave, north aisle and south porch were rebuilt in the 15th century in Perpendicular style. Interesting features include the angel figures on the nave roof and the animal armrests of the carved benches.
